The New York Times abandoned its ethics to take down Trump
NY Post ^ | March 2, 2016 | Michael Goodwin

Posted on 03/02/2016 9:11:04 AM PST by McGruff

For decades, the editorial page of The New York Times has served as the propaganda arm of the Democratic Party. But in a sign of the left’s panic over Donald Trump, the Times has moved beyond pushing an agenda to becoming a political hack, dirty tricks and all.

That’s the only reasonable conclusion to draw from the fishy aftermath of a Trump meeting with the edit board. The meeting happened in early January, but only on the eve of Super Tuesday did word spread about something the leading Republican candidate supposedly said in an off-the-record segment.

Buzzfeed suggested that an audiotape reveals Trump “secretly” walking back some of his most forceful immigration positions. The online news outlet reported that the recording has “reached near-mythical status at the Times” and that “some” people there believe the contents “could deal a serious blow” to Trump if they were made public.

If you believe a word the NYT prints, raise your hand.

Now smack yourself in the head.

They do seem intent on putting us in our place. We simply do not have the Republic we thought we had.

Hillary's world: They are out there trying to suppress your vote.

Our world and reality: Our vote doesn't matter, not desired, says nothing.

Anyone stupid enough to talk to the NY Times “off the record” deserves what he gets. The ends always justifies the means to these people.

Exactly right.

Trump sat down with the NY Times and, apparently admitted he was scamming the voters and had no intention of doing what he was promising.

So, Ted Cruz has every right to say, “If you’re sitting in Manhattan telling The New York Times that you’re lying to the voters, the voters have a right to know.”

In fact, he would be remiss not to say it.

And how old the tape is and if it is a edited in any way. It is so easy to edit a tape, a middle school kid can do it

I don’t trust them at all

But Cruz puts his full faith in the hands of the New York Slimes

What a swell guy

New York Times: If you do not like these ethics, we have others.

Trump can thoroughly discredit The Times simply by telling them to release the tape.

As usual, the little trumps are condemning the source.

What’s the explanation for Trump sitting down with the New York Times for an off the record meeting?

How come no little trumps are concerned about that?

Maybe some trump supporters could be getting a glimpse of the Real Donald Trump.

There’s a long way to go in the primary.

And Ted Cruz doesn’t have to worry about the New York Times ... he has never sat down for a secret interview with them.

I didn’t realize they still had any ethics left to abandon.

The NY Slimes abetted the communist takeover in Russia and was on the side of the Communists in Russia until the commies lost control of Russia.

The NY Slimes has never/would not hire an ethical and honest person to write their left wing bs.

What they will do take down Trump will make their 100 years of treason look mild!

“The meeting happened in early January, but only on the eve of Super Tuesday did word spread about something the leading Republican candidate supposedly said”

So the NY Times is trying to take down Trump. That’s odd because everyone is saying Hillary can beat him the easiest. Hmmm?

Apparently The Donald put his faith in the New York Times.

He is a New Yorker through and through, you know.

Please, don’t even try.
